Hi Anthony-What a shame. Sorry to hear that. Perhaps he will read this and see how unhappy you are. Sounds like it was unnecessarily stressful! :

Hi Jennifer-Haha you could do a bake off! Whoever does the best choc mousse cake wins worldwide fame and adulation (or within your at least )

I am putting the challenge out to my friends in the street, to make the chocolate mouse cake. It makes me nervous, even reading the recipe. I hope it does not turn out to be the chocolate mistake cake… Wish me luck

We met with him well before Easter to arrange for some wedding cakes for our wedding. In order to proceed we simply wanted a quote to which we are still waiting on. After numerous phone calls and pop in visits – we have still not received it. Our wedding is a month away.

I spoke with Adriano on Tuesday 26th June and even he commented that he was sorry and the delay was no excuse. Explain to me how I could ever trust someone to deliver on the day of our wedding if he can’t even provide us with a quote 3 months before our wedding day.

Well Adriano, an apology is only as good as the paper it’s written on, and guess what mate – I haven’t even seen one piece of paper from you.

And despite all of these issues, last week we still bought our sisters birthday cake from him – to show him that we were keen advocates of his business.

If anyone has ever met Adriano, you’d know that whilst he is creative with his pastries, he is a few pastries short of a patisserie.
